SB102,1,3
1An Act to create 125.07 (3) (a) 13. of the statutes;
relating to: the prohibition
2against underage persons entering or being on any premises operating under
3an alcohol beverage license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who has not reached the legal drinking age (21
years of age), and who is not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse
who has attained the legal drinking age, may not enter or be on any premises for
which a license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been issued.
Current law also provides for various exceptions to this prohibition. One such
exception is that a person who has not reached the legal drinking age may enter or
be in a bowling center, a regularly established athletic field, or a stadium at which
alcohol beverages are sold.
This bill allows an unaccompanied person who has not reached the legal
drinking age to enter and remain at the Park Ponderosa Ballroom in the village of
McFarland in Dane County if less than 50% of its previous month's gross receipts
came from the sale of alcohol beverages and it meets other criteria.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
